What kind of watch this is
Rob Letterman directs this 103-minute adventure horror comedy, turning the pages of a horror anthology into a live-action spectacle. Jack Black plays R.L. Stine, who also stars as Slappy the Dummy and the Invisible Boy. The tone balances genuine scares with meta-humor, treating the source material as both a threat and a joke. It is a film that knows exactly what it is.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes, as of September 2023, sits at 78% approval. Metacritic, as of October 2025, lands on 60, which it files under mixed or average. The critical consensus calls the humor scattershot and the pace hurried, though the kid-friendly charm holds. Kevin P. Sullivan of Entertainment Weekly argued the film is a never-boring trip that might inspire kids to pick up a book. Geoff Berkshire of Variety called it a disposable product. It is a film that tries to be everything, then settles for being a movie.
How it did with audiences
Goosebumps spent $58 million to make $150 million worldwide, a margin that satisfies the accountants even if it doesn’t spark joy. It opened at No. 1 in the United States and Canada, beating studio projections. The audience split was perfectly even, with families making up the bulk of the crowd. On TMDB, users rate it 6.3 out of 10, a score that suggests the magic worked for the kids and landed with a soft thud for everyone else.
What came next for the cast
Dylan Minnette stepped from Prisoners into Don't Breathe, then 13 Reasons Why. Jack Black moved from Tropic Thunder to the Jumanji sequels. Odeya Rush went from The Giver to Lady Bird. The credits do not claim the film caused these shifts. They simply note what followed.
